  Guns in church

  by onacruse in

  utah law dictates that concealed weapons are allowed in a church, unless the church has posted a written ban at the entrance, or has registered with the state as a "restricted zone.".

  us constitutional issues obviously come into play here, and even opinions about self-defense in unknown situations.

  one person said: "what better invitation to a terrorist to attack a church than to let it be known far-and-wide that there are no weapons for self-defense in that church?".

  Official - There are 6 million Bible Studies - but where are they?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw

  this was mentioned at the service meeting.. but, it should be worrying to the society, not as wonderful as it may sound.

  the number getting baptized each year is shrinking rapidly.. at one time, they boasted of baptizing 1000 dubs a day which equals to 365,000 dubs.

  this was back in 1997.. at the dc this year, it was 5,000 a week.

  My mom is worried!!

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mom is an ex jw and was disfellowshipped in 1980. she is worried about my upcoming plans to picket the convention, she is afraid that i will get arrested and lose my job.

  i told her this is basically something i feel i have to do and the only way to get this off my chest and feel a sense of satisfaction.

  i assured her i wouldnt scream or cuss at people but would act civilized and pass out flyers concerning several issues.
